About
My name is Elizabeth Baiko, I'm a fashion designer from Belarus. My work predominantly focuses on associations, emotions, self-understanding (fully immersing myself in a concept to understand it thoroughly through research). My approach to transforming the original source - not copying it, but associative rethinking - gives me an endless number of ideas.As a designer I enjoy the combination of handmade art and technology, past and future. The study of historical costume and its influence on modern shapes of clothing is an integral part of my life. It helps me build new connections and turn them into something more tangible. Pay tribute to the past, accepting the present, but remembering the future.My preferences: colour, experiments, mix&match, sophisticated simplicity, sence.
A t-shirt print with hand embroidery inspired by Asian culture. Hieroglyphs, Chinese Guohua painting influenced me as a child when I first tried to paint a fan. It was important to hold the brush vertically, to synchronise breath and brush movement, to feel the integrity of the moment of creation. I remember all my emotions during the process of creating. Since then inspiration from Asia has always been with me, I put it into completely new forms. Chaotic embroidery that goes beyond the boundaries is a continuation of the design. It's made in the same style as the print. The color palette wasn't chosen by chance. It also refers to Asian culture.
